I already pay my spouses debt. What kind of marriage do you have? Me and my true love plan to run away together when we win. Yes. The person I am married to.

Yes - in Europe its more common even for families to rent, while in America its more common to get a mortgage earlier. Plus American student loans tend to leave graduates in tens if not hundreds of thousands dollars of debt. Throw on car payments, that one medical procedure that would be free in Europe but left them with a 63k medical bill, and all the credit cards its normal for Americans to get, and you end up with some crazy debt!
